In modern production halls, operators often rely on wearable devices to stay updated on machine status and safety alerts. The FL WLAN 2100 ensures that these devices remain connected while workers move across the floor. Its dual-band capability reduces interference, while the MIMO antennas maintain a stable signal even around metallic structures. With its rugged enclosure, the module can be mounted close to heavy equipment, tolerating dust, vibration, and splashes. This allows staff to receive real-time data and alerts wherever they are, improving reaction time and ensuring smooth operation without dependence on fixed cabling.
Maintenance teams frequently need to move through large facilities while carrying diagnostic tablets or smartphones. Running Ethernet to every control cabinet would be costly and inflexible. The FL WLAN 2100 solves this by providing secure, high-speed wireless access. Its compact design allows quick mounting on enclosures, while strong encryption protocols protect sensitive production data. Dual-band connectivity helps avoid congested frequencies, ensuring smooth communication with monitoring apps. By enabling mobile access directly at the point of service, downtime is reduced, and troubleshooting becomes faster, giving engineers greater freedom to work efficiently in complex industrial settings.
Many factories rearrange assembly lines to adapt to new products or volumes. Wired networks make these changes slow and expensive. By using the FL WLAN 2100 in client or repeater mode, each machine can quickly rejoin the network wirelessly. With capacity for dozens of client connections, it supports flexible growth without additional cabling. Its industrial protection and wide power input range ensure reliable operation wherever machines are moved. This flexibility reduces installation costs, speeds up reconfiguration, and allows businesses to adapt to changing production requirements while maintaining seamless communication between equipment.
Industries often need to track pumps, compressors, or sensors located outdoors or in harsh environments. The FL WLAN 2100 is built for this task, offering protection against dust, water, and extreme temperatures. Its built-in antennas provide strong coverage, even when mounted on the outside of control enclosures. By linking these assets wirelessly, it eliminates the need for long cable runs and reduces maintenance on sealed conduit systems. Whether monitoring environmental data or controlling remote equipment, the module provides reliable communication in places where traditional wired solutions would be difficult or costly to implement.
